If you suspect a BLAS-related problem and you are linking
with an optimized version of the BLAS, we would strongly suggest
as a first step that you link to the Fortran 77 version of
the suspected BLAS routine and see if the error has disappeared.

We have included test programs for the Level 1 BLAS.
Users should therefore beware of a common problem in machine-specific
implementations of xNRM2,
the function to compute the 2-norm of a vector.
The Fortran version of xNRM2 avoids underflow or overflow
by scaling intermediate results, but some library versions of xNRM2
are not so careful about scaling.
If xNRM2 is implemented without scaling intermediate results, some of
the LAPACK test ratios may be unusually high, or
a floating point exception may occur in the problems scaled near
underflow or overflow.
The solution to these problems is to link the Fortran version of
xNRM2 with the test program. On some CRAY architectures, the Fortran77
version of xNRM2 should be used.
